Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside

Since entering September, the sales of mosquito repellent have decreased, and Mu Tong worried, what if the pharmaceutical workshop couldn't use so many people after Young Master went to the Prefecture to buy servants?

Unexpectedly, he worried for nothing, as Young Master swiftly created something like tooth powder.

"Although using green salt can clean teeth, this tooth powder has a refreshing fragrance, and wealthy households always hope for good breath; with this tooth powder, their breath would be fragrant as soon as they open their mouths, it will certainly sell well."

He added another sentence: "It shouldn't be sold too cheaply, it has to be more expensive than mosquito repellent!"

Although Mu Tong followed Elder Wu to study medicine, he was more like a businessman and was very good at doing business.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli divided a batch of tooth powder into three parts, sealed them into three small jars, and handed them to him: "Here, Uncle Mu Tong."

Mu Tong took them, looked at the jars, and asked, "How long can this tooth powder be stored? Will it not mold?"

If it couldn't be stored, even the best product would be useless.

Gu Jinli replied, "The tooth powder is roasted, and the medicinal materials inside have anti-insect and anti-mold effects; as long as it's not exposed to water, it can be stored for a year without problems."

Mu Tong was extremely pleased and repeated the word "good" three times, then asked Gu Jinli, "Young Master must give me the names of the medicinal materials used for the tooth powder, Master wants to send them to Yuanzi Pharmacy for review."

Boss Min's side needs to review them to ensure that the ingredients do not have any adverse interactions and are not harmful to humans, before they start selling the tooth powder.

However, they only need the names of the medicinal materials, not the formula.

With medicine, without knowing the quantities in the formula, knowing what materials are used won't allow one to replicate it, and after Boss Min's side reviews the material names, they will directly burn the list, not letting it leak out.

Gu Jinli had already written it down and directly handed it to Mu Tong.

After receiving it, Mu Tong put it away without even taking a glance, then immediately took the tooth powder, drove the mule cart to Xuanhu Fang, and gave the tooth powder to Elder Wu.

After using it, Elder Wu nodded and said, "It's a good product, that girl will make a big profit again."

He opened the note Gu Jinli provided, looked at the four herb names written on it, and laughed, "How does this girl's mind work, to think of using these materials to make tooth powder?"

Mu Tong, curious, asked, "What do you mean, Master? Are the materials used for the tooth powder too expensive?"

If the cost is high, there wouldn't be much profit.

Elder Wu glanced at him and said, "That girl is very frugal, have you ever seen her using expensive items? She reduces the costs significantly and profits from selling high."

Tofu, seasoning spices, mosquito repellent, none of these have high production costs. Only the scar removal ointment contains expensive pearl powder.

Reassured by this, Mu Tong asked, "When will Master send the tooth powder to Yuanzi Pharmacy?"

Elder Wu said, "I will send it in seven days, I need to use it for a few more days first."

Some contraindicated herbs don't show issues immediately upon use; he has seen cases where adverse effects from interacting herbs appeared three days later.

He does things cautiously, thus he extended the time frame to ensure there were no issues before sending it to Yuanzi Pharmacy.

After receiving Elder Wu's response, Mu Tong asked about the nanny's matter: "When will the people be sent?"

It was previously mentioned that a group would be sent to the pharmaceutical workshop, but now that Young Master is going to the Prefecture to buy people, they still hadn't been sent. It would be problematic if after Young Master buys people, another large group is sent as there wouldn't be enough space.

Elder Wu said, "They won't come until after October."

Erasing their previous identities for that group of people will take some time, it cannot be rushed. It must be thoroughly wiped clean, otherwise, Xiao Yu will be anxious with him.

Mu Tong nodded in agreement, after having had a meal with Doctor Wu at Xuanhu Fang, he drove the mule cart back to the village.

The next day, after Gu Jinli arrived at the pharmaceutical workshop, she relayed Doctor Wu's words to her.

Gu Jinli said, "It's alright, we can wait patiently."

She then discussed the affairs of the pharmaceutical workshop with Mu Tong for after her trip to the Prefecture.

Mu Tong took note of everything: "Young Master, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of the workshop for you."

In the following two days, Gu Jinli was busy arranging matters for the workshop, waiting to receive the money for the spices from Futai Building, as well as the recent profits from the seasoning shop, and the payments from the shopkeepers of the two taverns in Hukang County. On the third morning, she set out for the Prefecture with Third Grandpa, Gu Daya, Qi Kangping, Qi Kangming, Han Liu, and Mai Dong.

Qin San Lang also went with them; he said, "I still have a few days off given by the Military Office, and my injuries have healed. I'm idle at home too, so I'll go with you to the Prefecture. If anything happens, I can help."

Gu Jinli naturally welcomed his company, but Qin Er Lang's demeanor was neither here nor there, wishing he could chop Gu Jinli into pieces.

All because this despicable girl bewitched San Lang, making San Lang forget his status as a legitimate son of the Marquis Mansion.

Gu Jinli certainly didn't give Qin Er Lang any pleasant looks and secretly threw a bunch of scolding words at him, angering Qin Er Lang so much he stormed off to the mountains again.

Gu Jinli said to Qin San Lang, "Is your brother planning to become a wild man? Climbing the mountain every day, is he a monkey?"

Qin San Lang shook his head and smiled, "Wait until brother is far enough away before you speak."

Sure enough, Qin Er Lang who hadn't gone too far heard this and almost spat blood in anger.

Gu Jinli was pleased and said to Qin San Lang, "I feel relieved and happy now."

Hearing this, Qin San Lang smiled even more helplessly, and was sternly glared at by Qin Er Lang who was angry that he wasn't siding with him.

However, between Er Lang and Xiao Yu, Qin San Lang thought it best to side with Xiao Yu. After all, Xiao Yu was just a young girl, and Er Lang was a grown man who could handle a bit of grievance; Xiao Yu shouldn't be aggrieved, she would be unhappy, and he didn't want to see her unhappy.

Gu Dashan and Mrs. Cui came to see off Gu Jinli, anxiously instructing, "Don't wander around alone, let your aunt accompany you wherever you go. Call on San Lang too. If you encounter evil people, if you can't beat them, San Lang will help you fight."

"Keep a close eye on your household registration, and while buying servants, have your aunt, Third Grandpa, and your Uncle Six keep an eye out, so you don't end up bringing back people with bad intentions."

"Keep your Silver safe, be careful not to let thieves steal it, and spend it sparingly, don't splurge."

Gu Jinli listened to a series of instructions and made several promises before boarding the mule cart and departing.

The place was far from the Prefecture, although the mule cart moved quite fast. Even then, they didn't arrive at the Prefecture until the evening of the second day.

The Jiang Family had a residence in the Prefecture; the servants guarding the residence had already been instructed by the Jiang Family, and were waiting at the city gate; upon their arrival, they were immediately taken to Jiang Residence.

They weren't unfamiliar with this residence, having stayed here during their last trip to the Prefecture. They followed into the residence, stayed overnight, and the next day, they were led straight to the government by the Jiang Family's servants.

"The government is better than the private slave market; the people you buy have been checked by the government, you know their backgrounds, and you won't buy any criminals on the run," said Uncle Cheng, an elderly servant of the Jiang Family.

As Gu Jinli and others listened, they hurried towards the government.

Uncle Cheng had already notified the officials at the government upon receiving the message from the Jiang Family. When they arrived, the human trafficker immediately greeted them with a smile, led them in without much delay, and directly brought out a group of servants.

"These people are clean in background and have been trained; they know the rules and are loyal. Have a look," said the human trafficker, a middle-aged woman of ordinary appearance, but clean and well-spoken, unlike those eager to sell off people like possessed matchmakers.
